AI Contract Overview

Tehama County Flood Control and Water Conservation District is advancing the California Stream Gage Improvement Program by installing a single stream gage unit on Mill Creek in Mineral, California, to enhance real-time hydrologic data collection. The project involves deploying a remote terminal unit housed in a steel enclosure that includes a data logger, bubbler system, solar-powered battery, and radio communications equipment, along with conduit running to the streambed and a staff gage for visual measurement. This installation will provide critical streamflow data to support flood forecasting, groundwater-surface water interaction analysis, water supply planning, and environmental compliance, directly contributing to the state’s California Data Exchange Center. The project is designed to address data gaps in natural waterways and supports the county’s broader water management goals without disturbing vegetation or requiring earth movement, ensuring minimal ecological disruption. All project activities adhere to established Best Management Practices to mitigate potential temporary effects such as noise and human presence during installation, which are not expected to interfere with local wildlife movement, foraging, or reproduction. No vegetation removal or significant land alteration is proposed, and the site’s impact on terrestrial species is deemed non-significant. The initiative is part of a statewide effort led by the California Department of Water Resources to modernize stream monitoring infrastructure, and it aligns with the county’s commitment to improved water reliability and ecosystem protection. The project is publicly forecasted with point of contact Justin Jenson, Deputy Director of Public Works – Water Resources, reachable through the provided phone and email for further inquiries.

Full Description

As part of the California Stream Gage Improvement Program (CalSIP), the County is proposing to install one stream gage unit to record streamflow data at Mill Creek (Project). The CalSIP project aims to expand and modernize the countys surface water monitoring network to support improved flood management, water reliability, and ecosystem protection. CalSIP is a statewide DWR grant program designed to help public agencies upgrade, reactivate, or install new stream gaging stations that monitor real-time hydrologic conditions and contribute data to the California Data Exchange Center (CDEC). The program strengthens water management capabilities by filling critical data gaps in natural waterways. Within Tehama County, this project supports the Districts long-term water management responsibilities by enhancing the accuracy and availability of streamflow data essential for (1) Flood forecasting and emergency response, (2) Groundwatersurface water interaction tracking, (3) Water supply planning, and (4) Environmental stewardship and regulatory compliance. The project site, includes (1) a remote terminal unit (RTU) that consists of a data logger, bubbler unit, solar/battery system, and radio equipment housed in a steel enclosure, (2) conduit routed from the RTU to the toe of the streambed where it terminates, and (3) a staff gage will be installed in the streambed adjacent the conduit. The project will have non-significant impact to local movement patterns of terrestrial wildlife species. Temporary effects due to noise and increased human activity during project activities should not interfere with these local movement patterns over time or affect the ability of these species to forage or reproduce. No removal of vegetation and no earth disturbance is proposed. Additionally, various Best Management Practices are proposed to be implemented to reduce any impacts.
